New Conversation Pieces

I just want to let all my fabulous customers know my shops will be closed Friday March 30 and re-opening Sunday April 8. I apologize for any inconvenience. Orders received by Friday will ship with my normal shipping schedule of twice a day. 

I started making conversation pieces in a vertical manner.

Viva La Vida Necklace

Every Moment Matters Necklace

One phrase I say to myself often is life is short. It really seems to fly by faster and faster as I grow older! I constantly need to remind myself to do the things I have been wanting to do!

Life is Short Necklace

Here is one thing I get better at as the years go on. Keeping life simple. It is just better and easier that way.

Keep Life Simple

Let it go was popular one at the holidays so I wanted to make one in the vertical style.

Let it Go Necklace

Clearly my head was in one place when stamping these out but they all seem to be phrases we need to remind ourselves of each day.

These do come in a kraft box for easy gift giving. 

I love the kraft boxes because the gift giver can decorate them if they choose. However they also look fantastic on their own with a simple ribbon!  Necklaces are available in my Etsy Shop.

Thank you for stopping by! ~Val

Conversation Pieces

This is a new line I have started with conversation pieces meant to initiate a fun chat for its wearer.

This phrase below is popular in our house after watching The Leftovers which had a great cover of the song!

Another phrase we love since people are not quite sure how to react to it! The line made famous by Herman Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener.

One of my personal favorites is Under Construction. It has multiple meanings. Sometimes we are simply restructuring ourselves through education, a life change, etc. For others it always applies! Most small business owners can totally relate.

 At times we need to remind ourselves that this too shall pass.

So there are a lot more ideas being thrown around.

These necklaces hang as 18 inch on a stainless steel chain but can be adjusted to shorter or longer lengths. They come in kraft box ready for gift giving in my Etsy Shop. 

I hope you enjoy seeing some of my new items! They certainly are fun to make. ~Val

A Necklace and A Hair Update!

A Fun Necklace for Myself
There are so many goodies in my stash that are not the easiest to work with! 

So I decided to make myself something with some of these odds and ends.

I do miss the days of doing jewelry parties since unique funky things sell well in person. Online, not so much which I completely understand. Most prefer to try on conversation pieces before buying.

Anyway I love of the lava stone with the huge crazy horse stone coins and Botswana agate chips!

How does it look on? Here it is:

It's neat how the beads twist and turn sitting however they would like. I need treat myself more often since it is fun to make a unique piece to wear.

Hair Update
I had my second short cut since rebelling against hair coloring.

This cut is shorter on top so I an wear it down or I can go wild with it! Next week I should be able to have even more fun with it since it was cut a little short initially so I wouldn't feel the need to get a hair cut again in 3 weeks.

It is getting lighter with less processed hair left! The hair is blending in well. I was worried about walking around 2 toned but it does not feel that way.

Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
